Faith In Humanity

A few days ago, some of my friends were saying things like:
"I've just lost faith in 90% of humanity"
and
"In school today we were learning about how we're cutting down forests and basicially destroying the earth. Sometimes I'm ashamed to call myself a human being"
I came into the conversation with this:
"Dont ever be ashamed to call yourself human
You know why?
Because as humans, though many of us may be messed up, we have the power and the free will to change it.
So dont just sit around hating humanity
'Be the change you wanna see.'
The world isnt ENTIRELY ugly. If it were, we wouldnt have the music that saves our lives, we wouldnt have each other, we wouldnt have families - even if our families ARE dysfunctional. Those few things prove that the world has some goodness and mercy in it.
I know I sound like a hippie, but its true and theres nothing wrong with sounding like a hippie.
Be the change, the beauty, the happiness you want to see in the world
'Cause no one else is gonna give the world what you can. And you cant just wait for either the world to end or a miracle to happen. You have to be that miracle."
Amy Says by Flyleaf:
Amy says she's all alone,
Says the world doesn't even know
About the pain she hides inside
Says happiness is just a lie
Smell the roses throw them down
Just whisper, don't make a sound
Don't want the world to know the truth
You've been broken and abused...by you
Amy says
"I see you laughing at the rain that hits your face
With your arms stretched open soaking in the love
In a world I find so hard you find so beautiful
There's a hope in you deep inside for me."
The colors of her mind
Bleed into each other
As the morning melts the night
And the stars enchant another
While her eyes are still held shut
She can hear you breathing softly
Your words echo in her mind
And your words are clear and she knows that you are here
Yes
I see her laughing at the rain that hits her face
With her arms stretched open soaking in the love
In a world she found so hard she finds so beautiful
There's a hope in her deep inside from you
Ironically enough, one of those friends is named Amy. :)
